New cases per 100k people in age group

The reporting rate for each age-group is calculated by dividing the number of reported COVID-19 cases in the age-group by the number of people in that specific age-group.

Heatmap, 7-day moving average

Plot

Proportions of the age-groups

Proportions of the cases per 100k in each age-group to the sum of cases per 100k in all age-groups. Both are smoothed using the 7-day moving average.

This visualization shows how over represented each age group is compared to the other age-groups, adjusted for the different population sizes in each age group.

Reported cases by age group

The cumulative number of reported cases is published in the Austrian open government data portal:
BMSGPK, Österreichisches COVID-19 Open Data Informationsportal (https://www.data.gv.at/covid-19).

Based upon a data lake with hourly snapshots, by Attila Kerekes, a time series is reconstructed from the hourly snapshots of the cumulative data by calculating the difference between the last snapshot of the day and the last snapshot of the previous day.

If a day has a negative number of new cases this is corrected by applying the negative number of cases to the previous days such that each day has a non-negative notification rate.
